After what seems like an age (I applied really early) I have got my interview date set for the BT Apprentiship scheme in scotland.
I am applying to be an Office Based Technician at the Higher Level, and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the BT process.

My letter says I will have the opportunity to talk about my 'Record of Achievement' or a recent project, I left school with 6 Higher Levels and when to University but decided it wasn't for me. I take it that these Highers are my 'Record of Achievement' or should I be looking at work I have been doing for my current employer (o2)?

I'm an ex-BT (now Openreach) apprentice, although I went in for Customer Service Technician (engineer) at the time. The interview I went to was quite good, I was nervous as anything as it was my first big interview with a big company.

The people that interviewed me were really pleasant (When I got the job I found out they were to be my coaches), they ask you the typical stuff, such as "tell me about a time where you used team work skills" and "tell me a situation where you used your problem solving skills" etc. Obviously these sort of questions will be tailored to what role you are going in for.

They'll ask you about the application form you filled in too, i.e. "you said you helped fix peoples PC's, tell me about this" They aren't trying to catch you out, so just try and relax! (easier said than done)

Feel free to ask questions too, take a pen and pad to jot any info down, dress smart and turn up a good 15/20 minutes before.

Thanks to the guys who did reply, pretty much what i expected, I'm basically going to take in a folder of exam certificates, some sample uni projects and some stuff I have been working at in work at the moment. Should be about right

hi, i applied for this months ago. im trying for and IT apprenticeship with BT in leeds. ive been successful at the initial sift it says and now it says line manager selected. ive been waiting a long time, is this going to become anything or what ?
